Here is why Emilie Dionne died alone in her convent bed Montreal, Sunday 0 As a baby, Emilie was full of fun. She was the first of the quintuplets to talk and was very mischievous. .

. . . but Emilie grew up a shy, reserved girl. This radio-photo picture is one of the last taken before her death.

Her final, fatal seizure on Friday was complicated by glandular disorders and lung congestion, an official autopsy report said today. Emilie, 20, had suffered from epilepsy most of her life.

Her body was found by a nun at a Sainte Agathe convent nearly 24 hours after she fell' into a faint in the first attack. No doctor was called until Some time after the girl was dead. The coroner was notified nearly five hours after she died, and ordered an inquest because she was unattended at death.

Two doctors performed an hour-and-35-minute autopsy on the body in Montreal. They told reporters they heard from a member of the family she was treated throughout her life for epileptic seizures. This was confirmed by the autopsy A source at the Sainte Agathe Convent, where Emilie was going through her probationary period to prepare for the sisterhood, told United Press the girl suffered her first violent seizure about noon on Thursday.

Poor Emilie

Fucking nuns. What a death trap.

Two of the quints are still alive.

IT WAS MURDER

Quiet, Dorothy!

We have so much in common

I read a biography about them when I was a kid. It said "she turned her face to the wall and died" which was very scary because it never said she had epilepsy.

Only FIVE? That's hardly anything

And? Are we creating a sequel to "The Green Room," OP?

Annette and Cecile are alive

Yes! R11, I read that too. It was probably in a Reader’s Digest, either the last book section of the magazine or one of the condensed books. That phrase was just so vivid, it was scary to a kid.
